Both the Milwaukee, and Northwestern
roads are sending car loads of people to
California weekly.
The Northern Pacific road has issued
notice that on and after Jan L 1888, it's
thousand mile tickets, heretofore good
only east of the Missouri river, will be
accepted for passage on the Dakota
line.
Because of change OF the channel of
the Missouri, near the Nebraska end of
the new Chicago and Northwestern rail
road bridge, il has been decided to put
an additional 400 foot span on the struc-
ture. This will make the length 1900
feet, and add $4,000 to the cost.

full one. The whole life of Joseph Fran
els has been devoted to the study, crea
tion, and manufacture of life-saving APP
pliances. Probably thousands of lives
have been directly saved by his useful
Inventions. He has been quite intimate
ly associated with great engineers and
navigators, aid his relations with kings
and emperors are shown in some very
interesting correspondence. One of his
triumphs was the galvanized corrugated
iron steamer AraI, for the Russian i'm
perial navy, for the Aral sea. One of
the souvenirs which Mr.. Francis prizes
highly is a gold snuffbox studded with
diamonds, presented TO hiEa by the En-
peror Napoleon III, in 1856. The box is
made of refined geld, and elegantly chas-
ed. The lid has some ninety diamonds
in the top. The initial letter IN" is form
ed of large uniform diamonds of the
purest water, while above it is raised
crown made of smaller diamonds equally
pure. The box is very heavy and won
derful work of art. It was manufactured
by the court jeweler, Maurice Bay. who
represented the box TO be the most val
liable testimonial of the kind ever given
by Napoleon. Mr. Francis life is one
continuous record of great achievements
and the appreciatiye testimonial of them.
He still walks with firm step and shows
no sign of failing strength.

His life is indeed remarkable and inter

about it is the fine sentiment which

he has invented have won-him wealth and

THE YELLOW HAMMER.

Oat on the waste a lonely bird, fit and sing;
NV breast is yellow sunshine aud light as the

The golden gorse me shelters, in the tufted grass
is my nest
And sweet sweet sweet the world though the
wind blow east or west.
The harebes chime their music, the Gamma floats
in the breoze;
But as for me, fit to and fro and sing at my
ease.
When the thyme is dripping with dew. and the
hill wind beareth along
The pungent scent of the gle, loudly L sing my
morning song.
When the sun beats on the gorse, the broom, ana
The budding heather,
fit from spray to spray, and my song Is or 6ae

When the moor fowl sink to their rest, and the
sky is soft rose red,
sing of the crescent moon and the single star
overhead.
Out on the waste, out on the waste, fit all day

Sweet, sweet, sweet is the worIc-dear world
how beautiful eyerythingl
Only little lonely bird that loveth the noorland
And little perhaps of the joy of the world is that

Whispering SpOoks.
(nOhp-Dem0crat.

A house near Dranesville, in Marion
County, Ga, is firmly believed to be
haunted. TIE latest person to try the
place was Mr.. W. B. Stebbing, OF this
place. He says:
II did not believe in ghosts nor spirits,
and don't now, but there are certainly
some queer sounds and impressions
there. [ was sitting on the veranda when
a perfect babel of whispering broke forth.
| knew there was not soul on the place,
and got up, went through the house and
looked all around. Not soul could be
seen, bat the whispering continued ali
around me. 1 went out to feed my horse
and / could hear the same sounds all
around me. They seemed to come up
and try to whisper in my ear. I didsnot
like that, and made some rude remarks,
when heard rushing sound and felt a
shock on my legs that drew me right up.
1t was like severe shock of electricity.
The next whack came across my thighs,
and it doubled me up. took every particle
of life from me except breath and mind.
I could not move, nor could see anything
that struck me. A cold, clammy hand
passed over me and the numb feeling
left. I threw my horse some corn and
left the stable.
II went to the house, and, after eating
my supper, retired. Well, that eternal
whispering kept up. There was big lot
of dogs fighting in the other room, and
knowing there was but one old
dog on the place [ got out of
bed, struck a light and went
into the apartment, but here was nothing
to be seen. The thing began to be
serious. Invent back to bed, when the
whispering began again. I yelled:
"What in the name of God do you want
Who are you, anyhow"
"Then everything was quiet. 1 went to
sleep and was in the land Of dreams pro
badly ten minutes when I felt something
on my breast and on my feet. [ moved
Just to see if I could feel some one there
but could not. I arose, struck light
and as it was nearly O'Clock. and hear,
ing some more talking and whispering
by the chicken house, thought 1 woulo
catch thief. SO got my pistol and
went out. AS I stepped from the door
the moon was shining nearly as bright
as day. I could see no one. A most dia
bolioal and startling laugh, however, rang
through my room. I went down and fec
my horse again and as quick as possible
departed from the place."

Remarkable Surgery.

The science Of surgery has made such wonder
full progress in modern times that the most i'll
tricate and delicate operations are now under
taken and carried to a successful issue. There
are now several well authenticated cases of what
is known as pneumotony, that is to say, the re-
moyal OF diseased portions of the lungs in cases
of consumption. While, however, this delicate
operation has sometimes been successfully per-
formed, the risks attending it are SO great, and
the chances of recovery SO slight, that it is seldom
reSorted to. The safest plan in consumptive
cases is to use DR.. P4erceis Golden Medical Dis
